In 1609, French explorer Samuel de Champlain came upon a large lake
in the area we know today as Vermont and named it after himself. The
state's name comes from two French words vert (green) and mont
(mountain). In 1791, Vermont was the 14th state to join the Union.
Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys defended their homeland from
the British during the Revolutionary War. Vermont is famous for the
scenic Green Mountains which run the entire length of the state.
Although manufacturing and a growing service industry sector are now
the most important economic activities in the state, Vermont has one
of the lowest percentages of city dwellers of any state.
